I use it pretty much as is, except for the Work on Writing. We use  Units of
Study for writing, so we have a separate writing workshop. Other than that,
I go through all the set-up lessons, modeling, practice, building stamina,
etc. I love it. My kids love it. The paraprofessionals and other teachers
that work in my room love it. I just got the CAFE book, and am reading that
to get ready for the fall.
